Choose the item (A, B, C or D) that best answers the question about the passage.
Marian Jones was teaching at a primary school in Swansea in Wales when she heard about a
volunteer programme to help children in Africa. They were looking for imaginative teachers to make
learning fun for children in order to encourage them to continue their education.
In Rwanda, Africa, 95% of all children finish primary school. But sadly, extreme poverty and old-
fashioned teaching methods mean that many of them don't continue their education.
Schoolchildren in this part of the world don't have access to modern teaching methods or proper
school equipment. Families cannot afford to pay for school supplies or basic stationery. This means that
in most lessons the teacher stands at the front of the class and talks and the children sit at their desks
and listen. This is why a lot of schoolchildren don’t enjoy their lessons and don't want to go to secondary
school. To them, school is just something to get through before they start working on the land as
farmers or labourers.
Marian knew she could do something to help. She signed up with a volunteer programme and flew
to Africa. She loved teaching and engaging the children in their lessons. She understood that this is the
best way to improve children's chances of learning. Making lessons fun with little or no resources,
though, was a difficult task. The key was to get students to participate in the lessons. She used games,
group work and interesting tasks.
Today, she works with Rwandan teachers and helps them to be resourceful. She has also inspired
many students to become teachers themselves. She is happy that she has made a difference in these
children's lives and given them the desire to reach their full potential.
